Local Colour Printing Without Another Scanner to Accommodate
The 409CP makes sense when the missing function is another place to print, rather than another place to scan. A team with established document capture can put colour output nearer reception, accounts or a small workgroup without adding a scanner assembly.
Its 40ppm engine suits shared letters and reports, while approximately 6.5-second mono and 6.7-second colour first-print figures are relevant to frequent small jobs. Standard wireless can help where a network cable is inconvenient, provided the installation meets your security requirements.
The base main drawer holds 250 sheets and the output tray 170. Those are real limits during long runs. Some competing 40ppm printers start with larger supplies or offer stapling, so compare the complete installed setup before deciding that compactness is the main priority.
Look beyond the headline speed
What a Current Printer Can Change for Your Team
Keep short jobs close to the people using them
A dedicated printer can remove repeated walks to a distant shared machine. Confirm whether local copying and scanning are already covered before choosing print-only.
Wireless without specifying a separate module
Toshiba lists Wi-Fi as standard alongside Gigabit Ethernet and USB. Some comparable 40ppm printers require optional wireless hardware. Confirm network permissions, firmware and deployment arrangements.
Protect keys and control document access
TPM provides dedicated cryptographic key protection. Assess authentication, private print, network rules and end-of-use erasure alongside it. No single component makes the whole installation secure.
Specify the optional ISD for an actual requirement
The 128GB Intelligent Storage Device is optional, separate from 1GB RAM. Flash storage removes a mechanical drive’s moving parts and can improve storage access, but it does not raise rated PPM or automatically make data safer than an encrypted HDD.
Address wear when it is causing interruptions
Unworn feed and transport parts can help compared with ageing, heavily used equipment. Correct paper, loading, maintenance and workload still matter; fewer jams or breakdowns are not guaranteed.
Check the systems your business will use
A current platform may have a longer remaining driver and firmware support horizon. Confirm exact operating systems and applications; no fixed support period is promised.

Choose a number or tab to understand the printer’s functions, benefits and limits. No scanner is fitted to this model.
1. Print engine
40ppm Colour Output for a Dedicated Print Point
The 409CP prints A4 colour and mono at up to 40ppm. It does not scan, copy or fax.
Why this is useful
Short letters and reports benefit from prompt first-page response, while longer jobs use sustained engine speed. A theoretical 100-page run is 2 minutes 30 seconds before first-page and processing effects.
What to weigh up
These are manufacturer ratings, not a promise of complete job time. Network, file processing, stock, duplex and sleep state affect the wait. No scanner is fitted to this model.
2. Controls, storage and security
A 4.3-Inch Screen and an Assessed Security Setup
The colour touchscreen provides local printer control. Storage and RAM are separate specifications.
Why this is useful
Local status and settings can help staff resolve ordinary print questions. Configured private print can help control confidential output, with TPM supporting protection of cryptographic keys.
What to weigh up
Do not assume the 409CS’s standard storage or 7-inch screen applies here. Confirm optional ISD, supported stored-job functions, user authentication, encryption, firmware and secure disposal. Confirm supported functions in the supplied configuration.
3. Network and connections
Standard Wireless with Wired Network and USB Choices
Toshiba lists WLAN, Gigabit Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 as standard.
Why this is useful
Wireless can help place a local print point where a data socket is inconvenient. A wired queue may suit a fixed shared office printer. Choose the connection around network policy and reliability at the location.
What to weigh up
This marker represents connectivity, not a visible socket location. Confirm signal, permissions, firmware, drivers and mobile-device setup. Do not assume a direct cloud connector is included because mobile printing is supported.
4. Manual feed and media
Keep Occasional Special Sheets Separate
The base manual slot takes one sheet. The optional Duo-drawer adds a separate 100-sheet bypass.
Why this is useful
An occasional approved envelope or special sheet can use the manual path while ordinary stock stays loaded. That can suit varied short office jobs.
What to weigh up
Toshiba’s current UK product page lists 216gsm rather than the brochure’s 218gsm. Confirm approved stock for the supplied machine. Neither upper feed limit applies to automatic duplex; optional drawers have their own limits.
5. Paper supply
Start with 250 Sheets and Expand for Real Loading Needs
The base drawer holds 250 sheets, plus a one-sheet manual slot. Compatible options can take total input to 2,001 sheets.
Why this is useful
Extra supplies can keep letterhead separate or reduce reloads. The Duo-drawer combines a 550-sheet cassette and a 100-sheet bypass; it is not standard equipment.
What to weigh up
The base drawer will not hold a full ream. Some same-speed printers offer larger supplies as standard. Maximum input needs a compatible accessory combination and more space; it does not increase the 170-sheet output capacity.
6. Output and finishing
170-Sheet Collection for Loose-Page Jobs
The 409CP collects loose sheets and has no listed convenience stapler or inline finishing option.
Why this is useful
Short reports and correspondence can be collected locally, with occasional packs assembled by hand. That may be proportionate where finishing is infrequent.
What to weigh up
The family brochure’s convenience-stapler option is restricted to the multifunction models, not the 409CP. Some other A4 printers offer stapling, so paper size alone does not decide this. For repeated stapled sets, folded booklets or punched packs, compare a compatible finishing platform.
Printer terminology, explained by Bean
Confused by Printer Jargon?
Bean explains the terms without the technical waffle, including which copier features this print-only machine does not have.
- PPM — Pages Per Minute
- The rated print-engine speed. The 409CP prints up to 40 A4 pages per minute in colour or mono. Files, first-page response, duplex and paper affect the complete job.
- IPM — Images Per Minute
- Often counts scanned sides: one double-sided original is two images. The 409CP has no scanner, so scanner IPM does not apply.
- GSM — Grams Per Square Metre
- Paper weight per square metre. The UK brochure lists feed stock up to 218gsm; the current UK page says 216gsm. Automatic duplex is limited to 60–105gsm. Confirm your approved stock.
- MFP — Multifunction Printer
- Combines printing with functions such as scanning and copying. The 409CP is a dedicated printer, with no scanner, copier or fax.
- ADF — Automatic Document Feeder
- Feeds original documents into a scanner. None is fitted to the 409CP. Its drawers feed blank print stock, not originals.
- DSDF — Dual Scan Document Feeder
- Captures both sides of an original in one pass. The 409CP has no scanning feeder; choose suitable capture equipment if this is needed.
- RADF — Reversing Automatic Document Feeder
- Scans one side and turns the original to scan the other. This is different from duplex printing; no RADF is fitted here.
- DADF — Duplexing Automatic Document Feeder
- An original feeder handling both sides. Check single-pass versus reversing designs when choosing a scanner or MFP. Neither is fitted to this printer.
- Duplex — Automatic Double-sided Printing
- Prints both sides without manual reloading. The 409CP supports approved A4/custom stock from 60–105gsm for automatic duplex.
- DPI — Dots Per Inch
- A resolution measure. The 409CP lists up to 1200 × 1200dpi printing. Compare your own text, charts and photographs rather than judging quality from a headline alone.
- CPC — Cost Per Copy
- A service-agreement term for the charge per printed or copied page. Here it concerns printing. Check mono/colour rates, minimum billing, duplex counting, inclusions and exclusions.
- FCOT / FPOT — First Copy / Print Out Time
- Copy time does not apply to the 409CP. First print is approximately 6.5 seconds mono or 6.7 seconds colour under manufacturer test conditions; sleep and processing can add time.
- A4 / A3 — Paper Sizes
- A4 is 210 × 297mm; A3 is 297 × 420mm. The 409CP is an A4 platform. Larger sheets and folded A4 booklets need suitable larger-format equipment.
- Booklet Maker — Folded, Stapled Booklets
- A compatible finisher folds sheets and staples along the fold. None is listed for the 409CP. A driver booklet layout does not physically assemble the pages.
- Hole Punch — Pages Ready for Binders
- A compatible attachment punches printed sheets. No automatic punch is listed for the 409CP. Repeated binder packs may justify a platform accepting one.
- Corner Staple — Keep Each Set Together
- A staple near the corner holds a report together. No convenience stapler or automatic inline stapler is listed for the 409CP; occasional packs need external manual assembly.

Where the 409CP Can Be the More Useful Choice
Add printing where scanning is already covered
A separate print point can reduce walks without duplicating a scanner. If users need local copies or document capture, compare an MFP instead.
A low base body can suit a desktop location
Approximately 423 × 455 × 319mm without optional drawers. Check furniture strength, operating clearance and access; optional drawers add height.
First-page response deserves attention
Approximately 6.5/6.7 seconds mono/colour helps frame a demonstration of small jobs. These are rated figures; include network processing and the actual sleep state.
Standard wireless can simplify the equipment list
Some comparable 40ppm colour printers require optional Wi-Fi hardware. Here WLAN is listed as standard, though the best connection depends on your site and security policy.
Some same-speed printers start with more
Comparable 40ppm printers can provide a 520-sheet main drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feed as standard. The 409CP starts with 250 plus one. Compare the installed cost after useful options.
A4 does not automatically rule out stapling
Some competing A4 printers offer a stapling accessory. The 409CP does not list one. Ask separately about corner staples, folded booklets and hole punching before choosing.
Match collection and reloads to the work
40ppm alone does not define recommended monthly workload. Demonstrate peak jobs, duplex stock and output collection; repeated large packs may justify another platform.
Compare what the proposal actually includes
Review hardware, storage, trays, delivery, service, CPC where applicable and finance or rental terms. No universal running-cost or purchase-price advantage is assumed.

Questions worth asking
Toshiba 409CP Questions Answered
Is the Toshiba 409CP a photocopier?
No. It is a print-only A4 colour printer, with no scanning, copying, fax or document feeder.
Can I buy, lease or rent the 409CP?
Yes, ask Camelott® for the available equipment and configuration. We confirm condition, availability, finance approval where applicable, delivery, support and agreed terms.
Do you offer UK-wide service and repair?
Camelott® handles UK-wide enquiries. Provide your postcode, meter reading, model and symptoms so we can confirm coverage, charges and support available.
Why choose print-only?
It can suit a team that already has scanning covered and wants local colour output without another scanner assembly. If staff need walk-up copies or capture, compare a multifunction device.
How fast is it?
Up to 40ppm A4 in colour and mono. First print is approximately 6.5 seconds mono or 6.7 seconds colour under manufacturer conditions. Processing, paper, duplex and sleep state affect real jobs.
Does it include wireless?
Toshiba lists WLAN as standard alongside Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0. Confirm your network policy, signal, firmware and deployment setup.
How much paper is standard?
A 250-sheet main drawer plus a one-sheet manual slot gives 251-sheet base input. Maximum input of 2,001 sheets requires compatible optional equipment.
Is the 100-sheet bypass included?
No. It forms part of the optional 650-sheet Duo-drawer alongside its 550-sheet cassette.
Can it print heavier paper double-sided?
Automatic duplex is specified for approved A4/custom stock from 60–105gsm. The higher main/manual feed rating does not apply to the whole duplex path.
Why do paper specifications say 216gsm and 218gsm?
The UK April 2024 brochure lists 218gsm for main/manual feed; the current UK page lists 216gsm. Confirm approved paper for your supplied machine and exact feed path before ordering stock.
Is a 128GB ISD included?
No, it is optional on the 409CP. The 1GB RAM is separate. Do not assume the standard storage configuration of the multifunction 409CS applies.
Does flash storage make it more secure and faster?
Flash can improve storage access and removes a mechanical drive’s moving parts. It does not increase rated print speed or automatically outperform an encrypted HDD for security. Encryption, key protection, access controls, firmware and erasure determine the security setup.
Can it staple, make booklets or punch holes?
No compatible convenience stapler or inline finishing option is listed for the 409CP. The family brochure restricts its convenience-stapler option to multifunction models. For repeated finished packs, compare suitable equipment.
Is A4 always cheaper or lower capacity?
No. Compare actual equipment, workload, paper supplies, consumables and service. Some other A4 printers offer larger base supplies or stapling; paper size alone does not define capacity or cost.
Will new equipment reduce jams and extend driver support?
Unworn components can help compared with heavily worn equipment, and a current platform may have a longer remaining support horizon. No fixed reduction in faults or support period is guaranteed. Paper, loading and maintenance still matter.
What information helps with a proposal?
Give your postcode, users, monthly colour and mono volumes, peak jobs, paper types, scanning arrangements, finishing needs and whether you want to buy, lease or rent.
